#3444 closed enhancement (duplicate)

Allow multiple blogs to share users, roles, and capabilities.

Reported by: markjaquith's profile markjaquith Owned by: jacobsantos's profile jacobsantos

Severity: normal Version: 2.1

Description

We already have constants for unifying user and usermeta tables, but roles and capabilities are still maintained separately (even if the user/usermeta tables) are changed. Some people don't want the fine-grained control that per-blog roles/caps would offer, and just want simple global user/role/cap sharing.

Patch coming.

Patch for trunk

#1 @markjaquith
18 years ago

  • Owner changed from anonymous to markjaquith
  • Status changed from new to assigned
  • Version set to 2.1

Something like that.

Patch doesn't support global role definitions, but otherwise, should work. More of a proof of concept than anything else.

Feature request so bumping to 2.6 for feature freeze. Doesn't this bug sound mu related, or am I getting confused?

Closed #4846 ("Unified permissions" mode for multiple WP installs sharing users/usermeta) as duplicate of this

I would assume the patch is now stale however.

Bumping to future release.

dup of #8663 which has the commonly documented patch found on the internet to achieve this
